Description

The Ohio War Orphan & Severely Disabled Veterans' Children Scholarship Program awards tuition assistance to the children of deceased or severely disabled Ohio veterans who served in the armed forces during a period of declared war or conflict. The scholarship may be awarded to students attending Ohio public institutions, who will be funded 83 percent of tuition and general fees; and students attending private institutions, who will receive an annual award amount of $6,490 for the year. To receive scholarship benefits, a student must be pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree at an eligible college or university. Students may receive benefits covering a maximum of 15 quarters or 10 semesters. If a student has a learning disability, they would be eligible to receive the scholarship for 20 semesters and 30 Quarters, along with having the cumulative GPA requirement of 2.0 waived. However, the student's institution must send confirmation of this status by email to the WOS Program Manager before approving the waiver or exception. Students may apply online or submit their paper applications through mail. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
